Mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase (MDD) catalyzes the ATP-dependent decarboxylation of diphosphomevalonate (DPM) to produce isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP), the molecular "building block" for more than 25,000 distinct isoprenoids, including cholesterol, steroid hormones and terpenoids. Here, we present the first backbone assignment of Streptococcus pneumoniae MDD in the unliganded state and in a ternary complex with DPM and AMPPCP--a nucleotide analogue unable to transfer the γ-phosphoryl group ...[more]
